Hey Everyone, I would just like some advice on cardio. As far as how many minutes? Intensity? Interval training? I was doing 90 minutes on the treadmill with a high incline. Due to ortho problems I'm going to try the ARC machine. Do I do HIIT? And for how long? I'm not so concerned about pounds, I'm more interested in lowering body fat %.

I had my surgery 3.11.13. I've lost 179 lbs. so far! I would like to meet others in the area for whatever, but especially a workout partner. Thanks, Nick

Hey everyone! I had my surgery 3.11.13. I've lost 179 lbs since my surgery! It's time to hit the weights! Anyone in Chicagoland? Nick

Anyone have experience using the arc exercise machine? Does it work? How is it on joints? I have to get off the treadmill.

Hey Everyone, I had my surgery in March of this year. I'm looking for a male or female for a weightlifting partner. Thanks, Nick

Thanks! I will have to look for those :-)

Hey everyone! Just wondering regarding opinions ofprotein bars, specifically Detour Lower Sugar Protein bars that are sold at costco. BTW...I'm 8 months out. Thanks! Nicky

In addition to my regular cardio workout, I've started weightlifting with a trainer. Because of my current living situation, I have to rely heavily on my protein shakes and frozen meals. I'm wondering what a good pre workout meal would be? My idea was Weight Watchers Smart Ones Steel Cut Oatmeal. Let me know what you guys and gals think. Thanks! :-)

Hey Everyone, I'm looking for a good pre workout(weightlifting) meal. Because of my current living situation, I have to rely heavily on my Protein shakes and frozen dinners. Normally I would skip the carbs totally but I started weightlifting with a trainer. I'm just wondering if Weight Watchers Smart Ones Steel Cut oatmeal would be a smart choice? Thanks! :-)

Dumb question, what's a slider food? Is that a food that makes you go to the bathroom?

They are actually very tasty...that's what worries me!! :-) I'm going to try the bars mentioned earlier in this thread that are sold at GNC.

Anyone have an opinion on these. I'm past my 6 month mark. Just wondering for something fast with a little protein and FIBER, which I desperately need! Lol!

You need to go see an orthopedic surgeon that specializes in ankles! You might have what I have...PTTD. And it only gets worse if it is not treated. Stay off the treadmill. That was hard for me because I loved walking. If you have questions private message me. Get this checked out! Hope you feel better, Nicky

Hey everyone! I'm wondering if any of you have experience or have heard of plastic surgery in Mexico or Colombia? A friend of a friend's father went to Colombia for his gastric bypass and was very pleased with his care and results. This person comes from a Colombian background. I was lucky to have my sleeve completely paid for by my insurance. I was sleeved 3.11.13 and I've lost more than 200 pounds! As you can imagine, there is skin everywhere. I'm thankful for my health, but I was hoping to start dating, but I am grossed out by my own body. My Dr. is willing to play ball regarding my stomach area( I did have infections, not lately though ). But I think I need a 360 body lift? Believe me when I say, it's not just my stomach that is a problem. And I really don't make the kind of $$$ for regular plastics in the U.S. Any thoughts, ideas, and advice would be appreciated! Thanks, Nicky

Thanks! The clothes issue is a good problem to have :-)
